I'm sure you will keep the same number.

Most of my planes are in the 35-45 yr old bracket (all still flying) and I was wondering about renewing in 3 years - will we keep the same number or get a new one. Got the answer today.

I understand about the FAA registration of sUAS flyers, and am already registered - no problem. In 3 years, when I have to renew my registration, will I keep the same number or will a new one be issued. My concern is placing my number on all my model aircraft - will I have to take the old one off and apply a new one every 3 years?
Thanks.
